Wow! After sweating it out between a 2.4GHz and 2.5GHz (Early 2008 model) I finally pulled the trigger on a Refurbed MacBook Pro 2.4GHz from Apple.
Of course, I'm wondering if I should have gotten a new one from Amazon for $4 less, but then I would have had to wait out a rebate.
I'm offloading a Canon 28-70/2.8 L lens and the PowerBook G4 1.67GHz to pay for the laptop. It should pretty much even out the cost of the new laptop at $700/each for the lens and PowerBook. If all goes well, my business should be making enough money in a few months to pay for a new lens, though I'll go with a 17-40/4 L and a 50mm macro.
Now, I just have to wait all weekend until the thing shows up Monday or Tuesday. Of course that's probably good 'cause I'll need all that time to clean up my files and figure out how I'll transition to the MBP.
